How do people determine right and wrong in a world of "grey?"

In Murder on the Orient Express, Hercule Poirot states that he operates in a black and white world that helps him to identify the things that are a bit off or missing within most situations. The challenge to this philosophy comes when he attempts to administer justice at the conclusion of the Christie’s famed character analysis.

The situation proves to be more in grey than monochromatic.

How do people determine right and wrong in a world of "grey?"

Besides relying on mere intuition and personal conjecture, the search for the answer to this question has to be outside of the human experience. Some may look for answers in science, philosophy and religion, but how can people know where to find the answers to the ethical and moral queries?

Through this journey of enquiry, the Bible is an excellent source to consider.

The wisdom found in the words of this book does not give specific answers to every situation that comes along, but it offers the framework to know how to make the right decision, and it even provides solutions to life’s more prominent considerations. In this investigation, the best places to start are in some of the books of wisdom in the Old Testament (Psalms and Proverbs) or the book of Romans in the New Testament.

In the words of Agatha Christie, "The truth, however ugly in itself, is always curious and beautiful to seekers after it."

Keep seeking the truth.
